So even though I'll only be 16w3d tomorrow, I feel like the doc will be able to tell baby's gender when I have an ultrasound tomorrow... right? Hopefully? LOL

So I wanted to get some guesses from you ladies about baby's sex. -I had pretty mild m/s during weeks 7-10, off and on the afternoons, but never threw up-No real skin or hair changes to note, first tri acne cleared up nicely -Carrying low, from what I can tell-No cravings to speak of, just an aversion to pizza and overly salty foods-Baby's HR has been between 151-163

I have the big anatomy u/s scheduled on 11/29 when I'm exactly 20 weeks, so hopefully we can confirm at that point if we need to

I think 16 weeks is a lot safer than like 12-13 weeks. I know everyone says if it's a boy you can tell sooner, but at 12-13 weeks, boys and girls have a pee pee looking thing, it's just what it develops into after that. But around 16 weeks, as long as they get a good shot, not just a shot that they can guess, you can probably tell. With my DD we had an u/s at 15w6d and I was nervous about if they could tell for sure...we saw 3 lines! Not just the absense of boy parts, we saw girl parts! So, from my experience 16 weeks we could tell!

However, my votes was yes you can tell, and you're having a boy! My thing was for both of my boys I had better skin and nails. For my daugther my skin went crazy and my nails SUCKED! So, that's why I said boy!

Anyway, I should have some news this afternoon for everyone Hopefully my blood pressure isn't off the charts; I'm so excited and nervous right now, it's ridiculous.
